Acquired as a basket case in the heady days of 1988, the car's ground-up restoration was eventually completed in 1996 to the original specification as per the Heritage Certificate (with minor mods - electric fan, stainless steel exhaust and tubular manifold, blue mohair hood and chrome and s/s wires). It is now in near concours condition, but covers only 1000 miles or so per year. The car's number indicates it was only the 25th RHD 4.2 litre OTS produced, and a rare 1964-manufactured 4.2 car.

I have an old UK style green continuation logbook dating from 1974/5 when it was registered in Wakefield, Yorkshire to two members of the Bolland family. From this I was able to have the original registration 404 EAN reinstated. The car's body had been -badly - hand painted in red over a previous layer of white when acquired. Any information on the car's early history prior to 1988 would be gratefully received.

DD Classics is proud to offer this truly spectacular Series 1, 4.2 Litre E-Type Roadster, finished in its original colour scheme of Opalescent Silver Blue with a lovely Dark Blue hide which remains in wonderful condition.

This example was the subject of a nut & bolt restoration over the course of 6 years which was completed in 1996 and has only travelled a mere 5,000 miles in the intervening years. The car has some sensible upgrades including; electric fan, Coopercraft brake calipers, adjustable shock absorbers, electric ignition, stainless steel exhaust and tubular manifold, 5 speed gearbox and a stylish Dark Blue Mohair hood our E-Type still presents superbly and would be an eye-catching addition to any collection.

It is clear this car has been fastidiously maintained throughout its life and is probably one of the finest used E-Type Roadsters offered for sale anywhere today. Accompanying the car is a comprehensive history file which includes a vast number of invoices detailing works carried out, multiple past MOT certificates and an old style registration log-book from 1974. Our car still retains its original registration number "404 EAN".
